Stationery Wardrobe

"Just like a clothing wardrobe, your stationery wardrobe should include foundation pieces appropriate for any occasion as well as a few fun and seasonal pieces. Beyond the content of your correspondence, the choices you make about your papers – size, weight, paper and ink color, typestyle – convey a lot of information about you, and you want to make sure they reflect who you are." - Dempsey & Carroll

For a long time now, I've wanted to order personalized stationery. In a dream world, I would order a stationery wardrobe from The Printery, which operates out of this charming 1899 landmark house in Oyster Bay, Long Island.

Their designs are simple and elegant

and are used by the likes of Tory Burch.

And one for every season or holiday?

How about St. Valentine's Day...

Or summer...

Or fall...

The Printery is carried in just a handful of select stores and even at

I love letterpress! (Another thing we have in common :)) I love the quote about a "stationary wardrobe." I have an entire box of all different types of stationary for every occasion. Some might call it unnecessary clutter but I disagree. This quote totally justifies it!
